Senator Moody was sworn into the United States Senate on January 21, 2025, after being appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
Mrs. Moody (for herself, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Lee, Mr. Budd, Mr. Moreno, and Mr. Tillis) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Full title: To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit taking or transmitting video of defense information, and for other purposes.
Today, Senator Ashley Moody brought home major victories for Florida’s military bases and the servicemembers who call the Sunshine State home through the bipartisan passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA includes the authorization of over $851 million for Florida’s installations, as well as funding for expanded shipbuilding to narrow the gap between the U.S. and China, prioritizes construction of the Golden Dome missile defense, securing the Southern Border, improving servicemember quality of life, building upon a successful year of military recruitment efforts, and supporting the delivery of next-generation aircraft.
Assessments
Moody took same-term federal action consistent with the military-investment portion of the promise, including support for NDAA defense authorizations benefiting Florida installations and broader military modernization, plus introduction of defense-site security legislation. However, the evidence does not show that she delivered the paired outcome of avoiding endless wars or materially caused a measurable reduction in war commitments. Because only one major part of the promise is supported and the rest remains unproven, partial credit is appropriate rather than full delivery.
